Every hardware vendor seems to want a go at making a handheld, and now its ZOTAC jumping in with the Zone.

    That front facing camera makes me nervous. Windows comes with enough virtual bloat, I don’t need physical bloat in the form of nigh useless hardware.

    So the dual trackpads are interesting. I use my right trackpad on my Steam Deck all the time for more mouse centric games. I appriciate that ZOTAC included them, but the execution is key here.

    Personally, I have two steam decks in my house and I’m extremely satisfies with them. I dont think a new handheld will make me switch until we get another generational improvemnt in terms of battery or power.

    I love that the market has so many options! Steam, Asus, Lenovo, MSI, Zotac, AYANEO, AYN, GPDWin, or even the chaper linux retro consoles! its fucking awesome. In a few years we’ll see who really sticks with it, but for now, we’re in a little handheld revolution. Enjoy it while we can.

      They must have been reading the comments to every other handheld. Every time a new one is announced, the Steam Deck’s trackpads are mentioned as a selling point.

      Another nice thing is the Hall effect joysticks, but that 120Hz display seems like overkill to me.

      The price makes for a tough sale though.

    Looks kind of cool but the price is yuck. That a6running windows? Really? I can’t see that being good without some major tweaks.
